Chapter 18 Wooden Courtyard
Early in the morning, Xiao Zheng was walking on the path with a lot of thoughts: I was about to fall asleep when I cultivated Qinghe yesterday, is this unpredictable Qinghe Dao method a sleep-inducing one? .
Seeing that the sun had gradually risen in the distance, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, today is the first day of school, he can't be late.
Oh no, it's the second day of school, and the first day was blasted out before I could enter the school.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, why did he carry it like this, the road to admission was too bumpy and difficult.
Xiao Zheng came to the square in front of the academy yesterday, and the freshmen who were originally dense yesterday have disappeared at this moment, they should be in class, Xiao Zheng said secretly.
Stepping into the gate, the five courtyards of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are presented in front of you, each attribute represents a college, and everyone decides which academy to enter by drawing lots.
Xiao Zheng stood in place and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The box yesterday should have been assigned to the academy, but where are you going?"
"Are you?" A master came from the front, he looked at Xiao Zheng hesitantly and asked, "Now that classes have started, why are you still standing here?"
"To tell you the truth, I was originally from the academy here, but I was delayed because of something yesterday, and now I don't know what academy I belong to" Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, "Oh......" The master smiled meaningfully: "That...... In that case, you should come to the wooden courtyard, "The wooden courtyard?" Xiao Zheng was a little surprised, "I have already given you the road, it depends on you whether you want to go or not" The master seemed to mean something.
Xiao Zheng looked at his distant back and fell into deep thought, looking at the five roads in front of him, his eyes swept in turn, and finally took a step towards one of them.
"All things have spirits, and all spirits are born ...... all things"
As soon as he walked into the wooden courtyard, he heard the sound of teaching from inside, "It seems that the class has already started" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but speed up his pace when he saw this.
"All things ......" The master above was talking energetically, suddenly there was a knock at the door, the master put down the book and frowned and said, "Come in", as soon as the door opened, a person came in, and the students below couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the person, and some even exclaimed.
"Master, I shouldn't have disturbed your class" Xiao Zheng said with a smile, and the master on the stage couldn't help but have a headache after seeing Xiao Zheng, why did this thorn come to our South Courtyard......
"It's class now, if you have something to do, please leave the class......" Before the master finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Zheng had found an empty seat and sat down, listening to his lecture with a serious face.
"Well, as long as he doesn't affect the others, let him sit first" As if resigned to his fate, the master picked up the book again and began to speak: "The way of all things stretches from one to two, from two to four......
......
This lesson made Xiao Zheng drowsy, and it was really boring. Some students next to him even lay directly on the table and were called up by the master to smoke questions, and those who couldn't answer were punished for standing and copying books, and the heavy ones were whipped with a ruler and palms, which made many students miserable.
Fortunately, it was finally time for recess.
Xiao Zheng sat in his seat boredly, and the classmates around him didn't dare to approach him, and some pointed at him, which made Xiao Zheng extremely unhappy.
"You...... Hello" Finally, a freshman mustered up the courage to say hello to Xiao Zheng: "You are the one who was in the square yesterday...... Is that Xiao Zheng who is talking to others?", Xiao Zheng turned his head and saw that a slightly chubby person was looking at him a little shyly.
Xiao Zheng recognized him as a freshman who was inexplicably beaten by Chen Xin yesterday, seeing him greet him like this Xiao Zheng smiled and responded: "Yes", seeing Xiao Zheng admit that the person couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Hello hello, my name is Yao Zhi, thank you for helping me yesterday"
Xiao Zheng said: "I didn't help but had no choice, you made a mistake", hearing this, Yao Zhi and the good classmates next to him couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless.
"Besides, I'm at odds with Wu Hui now, if you get close like this, if Wu Hui comes back in the future, I won't be able to help you, so you still have to learn more from them" Xiao Zheng pointed to the other classmates who were far away from him, but their eyes couldn't stop glancing this way, and said lightly: "Sometimes...... Stay away from me......"
The two classmates around Yao Zhi originally had some other thoughts about this Xiao Zheng, but after his explanation, they still felt that their lives were more important, so they left in a hurry.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Xiao Zheng was more surprised that although Yao Zhi heard what he said just now, although his face was pale, his eyes were extremely firm: "I...... Although my cultivation is not high, I know what it means to repay my kindness and what it means to live a living secretly."
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but have a big head when he heard this, why is this person's brain so bad, if something happens to him, he will still have his senior sister and master to take care of him, but if something happens to him, there will be nothing. As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Zheng wanted to say something and persuade him, but he just looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, which made Xiao Zheng a little speechless.
"Ahem" There was a coughing sound on the stage, and the scattered classmates hurriedly returned to their seats after hearing it, although Yao Zhi wanted to say something more, but helplessly returned to his seat when the master arrived.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw him like this, and he didn't think much about it, and turned his head to look at the podium. "Uh...... What's going on?" Xiao Zheng was surprised to see that there was a different master standing on the podium, but what surprised him was that the one standing on this podium was the old man he had met at the gate of the academy before.
The master smiled at Xiao Zheng and said, "Everyone, my surname is Shen Mingfeng, and I am everyone's guide to cultivation", and after seeing a whisper behind him, Shen Feng waved his hand: "Let me ask you, do you know what cultivation is?"
"Spiritual power into the body" a certain classmate said, Shen Feng nodded and said, "Then do you know why this is?", seeing him shake his head, he asked everyone: "Do you know why you want to cultivate the Dao?", everyone was silent, "What about you, do you know?" and finally asked Xiao Zheng.
"I think so" Xiao Zheng pondered for a while and said: "It should be to do something that I didn't dare to think about before, this is the original intention of cultivation", Shen Feng asked again: "Then what do you dare not think about before but want to do after cultivating?"
"Hmm......" Xiao Zheng pondered: Do you have any lofty goals...... Do you have any unfinished business...... It doesn't seem to be, and I'm already very content to sit in this school.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was silent, Shen Feng said: "Cultivation is not as good as eating and sleeping at home, cultivation can lead to immortality, cultivation can become a master, and cultivation can move mountains and reclaim the sea in the depths."
"Don't look at all of you sitting in this school now, all of you are so close together" Shen Feng said: "But who knows what the situation will be like in ten or twenty years, do you say, Xiao Zheng?", suddenly Shen Feng turned to Xiao Zheng and asked.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng had no choice but to hum, and Shen Feng put his hand down: "Then today is the first day that you will open the gap, and I can judge the good and bad in the future here!"
